Gel Mani: Pororo and Friends

Shui Yan picked this design from Cynful Nails, I merely just copied the exact same design and colours! 🙂

I’m sure many of you watch Running Man (a Korean variety show which I’ve been watching religiously for the past 2 years!) and one of the celebrities was nicknamed Pororo which is the name of a cartoon penguin!

Many colours were used so I shall not list them down here but the other nails are its initials and Pororo’s friends!

Gel Mani: Triangles & Tribal

Rachel showed me a rather interesting design this round! It was taken from a fellow instagrammer, this isn’t my original design!

Reminds me of tribal because of all the bright colours on top of the dark ones! The orange that I used wasn’t opaque enough and I had to go over thrice for the triangles to show up perfectly, phew!

I like that the nail art and the rest of the solid block nails are so colour-coordinated! Makes everything looks so chic!

Snakeskin

Saw this Young Nail’s snakeskin nail design tutorial on Youtube and I just had to try it!!! 😀 I was playing with my new colours from Gelle… (Yes, I recently purchased another 15 colours to add to my collection!) I think such combinations will be better for brighter or neon colours!! But I’m pretty satisfied from this first attempt!

I think it looks more like a lava lamp design instead of snakeskin…

(lol apparently this post was done last year….)

Gel Mani: Rainbow Scallops

Hayley came for her first sponsored nails by Mental For Polish! 🙂 She chose a simple scallop design with a new twist… she wanted different colours on all her nails!!

I shall spare you with the colour names so do read the tags if you want to find out more 😀 And… after Hayley instagrammed her nails, I received an appointment from Yuki who wants the exact same design too! (featured below) HEHE

It’s super colorful and reminds me of rainbows and fluffy clouds!

Gel Mani: Galaxies & Stars

My first try at galaxy nails! Well, the hype for this design has been going on since last year and I’m glad to be able to do a new design!

Photobucket

Amelia wanted just galaxy nails with stars and allowed me to use any colours for the different galaxy patterns! I’ve decided to stuck with the same colours for all the nails, just that the ‘shape’ of the galaxy is different! I hope I’m making sense… Lol!

Happy Chinese New Year to all my Chinese clients! 🙂

Gel Mani: Animal Kingdom

Magdelene showed me a variety of pics for her mani! Omg this is too cute!

She initially wanted all pandas but then I convinced her to have different animals for each finger! 😉

Photobucket

So there you have it… Panda, frog, pig monkey and penguin! 😀

Adventure Time!

Danya gave me a very good challenge!! She’s a big fan of Adventure Time cartoons and she wanted Beemo (robot/game console), Princess Bubblegum (a princess, lol), Finn (the human with long blonde hair hidden in his suit), Jake (Finn’s transformation dog) and Ice King (he’s evil!)

Since I’ve no idea what is the cartoon all about, I searched about them on Google! The plot is quite interesting, I think I might watch it soon! 😀

I referenced from Google pics and Chalkboard Nails take on them!

Photobucket

Okay I already forgotten what colours I used so here’s the list that I can remember… Btw some colours are mixed from acrylic paint 🙂

Beemo: OPI Mermaid’s Tears
Princess BubbleGum: Barry M Strawberry Ice-cream and OPI Indi-a Mood For Love
Finn: OPI Alpine Snow, OPI Ogre The Top Blue
Jake: China Glaze Papaya Punch
Ice King: OPI Alpine Snow, OPI What’s With The Cattitude

I’m pretty satisfied on how these turn out! Too cute for words! Especially Beemo and Ice King, alot of details!

Neon Paisley

This design is adapted from one of my old nail magazines, I forgot which one is was… Either Nail Max or Nail Up! 🙂

Tried a paisley design + neon colours and I love how well they go together!!! 😀 and I finally used my exquisite leaf-shaped embellishments from Japan for this set!

Gel Mani: Leopard Party

Belinder drew out her own design!!!! This is the first time that a client drew and designed her own manicure! After discussing, we decided to swop the ring and pointer design because one of her pointer fingernail broke!

Photobucket

Rainbow leopard print, and each finger is a different design! There’s a half gold glitter and half leopard design, leopard print with heart, red glitter French with leopard print, slanted leopard print and a normal leopard print! Phew… I used quite a lot of colours for this manicure, check the tags!

Initially I didn’t know whether the colours will go well together but it turned out great in the end! 😀

Brush It On!

Rachel wanted my brush strokes nail design which I’ve adapted it before from Nail Max before her company trip! She wanted to do without the black french tips!

Photobucket

The problem with this design on normal polish is that it gets too thick for the accent nail… (2 coats for each colour!!) Had to blow for ages with my mini blower and I was pretty scared that it would smudge in the end!

Photobucket

I’m glad it turned out well 😀
